ST. JOHN’S – Newfoundland and Labrador’s new premier is meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Carney welcomed Tony Wakeham to Ottawa today and said the premier’s agenda is ambitious.
Wakeham and his Progressive Conservatives won a slim majority in the province’s election last month, ending a decade in power for the Liberals.
Wakeham told reporters Tuesday he wants the federal government to spend more on national defence in his province.
He said he also hopes Carney will designate Equinor’s proposed Bay du Nord oil project off the east coast of Newfoundland as a project that deserves to be fast-tracked through federal regulations.
Carney says there is much to talk about, adding that it is an exciting time for the province.
